Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 57720
OO should not suggest temporary folders for saving files
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:41:18 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1) Open a document that is sent as an attachment witht he mail 2) Click on File - Save as, it suggests a temporary folder. A user should NEVER be allowed to "save" to a (internal) temporary folder as this one will disappear after closing the session, eventually leading to data loss (and creating angry users as they do not understand what and why this happens). OO should suggest the default folder for documents.
Framework issue.
As long as your mailclient stores these files in temp folders OOo is opening these files in temp. And an opened file will be always stored where it has been opened at. reassigned
I second Nagashree on this issue. Emailing a document to work on it from home, and losing subsequent edits because the document is saved to the temp folder is a common mistake. OpenOffice should treat documents that are opened from the temp folder as *read only*, and default to the home folder when 'Save' or 'Save As...' is selected.
